"Shen Yu, I think you bought this box for nothing, because it can't be opened at all. Old Li is not a fool. If he can open it, how can he give you an advantage?"
In front of the Lantingju appreciation table, Xu Duofu stood behind Shen Yu and kept talking.
Shen Yu turned around speechlessly and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I said, Fatty, you are too talkative, aren't you?
"If you didn't want to see what objects are hidden inside, why would I be so anxious to open the box?"
At this moment, Shen Yu didn't blame Li Haiyang for selling this treasure box.
Because he used all his strength, he found that he couldn't open it at all.
I pressed all the places that might be mechanisms, but there was no movement at all.
"Boss, Mr. Xu, let's have a cup of tea first."
Lan Ya walked out of the reception room with two cups of steaming tea.
The aroma of tea arrived first before anyone arrived.
Xu Duofu sniffed the air and his eyes lit up, "Pu'er tea, or old Pu'er tea."
Lan Ya smiled politely: "Mr. Xu, you know so much. This is the aged Pu'er that the boss bought. The older it is, the more fragrant it tastes."
Shen Yu turned his back to the two of them and wanted to laugh.
Our beautiful store manager is really eloquent.
In fact, where is the old Pu'er that I bought here? It was all left over from my grandfather's funeral.
After Lanya discovered that box of precious tea, it was like finding a treasure. After all, the cheapest one costs over a thousand yuan per box.
Later, Lanya made full use of these tea leaves.
She knows tea well. She can tell which tea leaves should be boiled in which water and how long to brew them.
Everyone who comes to the store to buy and sell antiques, regardless of age or sex, will give a thumbs up as long as they drink the tea brewed by Lan Ya.
"The aroma is strong but not strong, just right. Miss Lan, do you know tea art?" Xu Duofu praised.
Lan Ya smiled elegantly, "I understand a little bit."
"Miss Lan is pretty, knows how to appraise antiques, speaks and handles things in an elegant manner, and also knows a good tea art. Oh, you are too talented in my brother's shop, why don't you come to my Xu family?
"I promise that you can choose any manager of Xu Ji Antiques and major jewelry stores and they will do what they say."
Lan Ya glanced at Shen Yu first, and after realizing that Shen Yu was not angry, she declined politely: "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your kindness, but I am very happy working for my boss and will not change my job.
"As you can see, a boss who cares so much about his subordinates is not easy to come across. If you miss him, I'm afraid I will regret it for the rest of my life."
Xu Duofu put down the white porcelain tea cup and pretended to look sad and angry, "Why can't I meet such a loyal employee?"
Shen Yu picked up the tea cup and drank the black Pu'er in one gulp. "Fat man, your store manager only has more than 10,000 yuan a month, right? You want to poach Sister Ya with this little money?
"If you can offer an annual salary of two million per year, I can consider it."
Xu Duofu smiled awkwardly, "That's impossible. It's not that I can't afford it. The main reason is that if I give Miss Lan so much, other store managers won't do it."
Lan Ya didn't want to listen to Xu Duofu's nonsense on this issue, so she turned around and went to the counter, carefully picking up the big blue and white jar that Shen Yu brought back.
Shen Yu didn't hide anything from Lanya and told her directly that this was a real Yuan blue and white piece.
But as soon as the words came out, Lan Ya felt bad.
I took out dozens of rags specially designed for wiping porcelain. I was afraid of causing slight damage to the glaze of the large pot, so I only wiped them once with one rag.
After feeling that there was no dust, I prepared to put the large can into the dark cabinet under the architrave shelf.
There are anti-collision sponges all around inside, so even if the entire shelf falls down, you won’t be afraid that the porcelain will break.
As for Shen Yu, he continued to study how to open the treasure box.
Now Shen Yu can only praise the wisdom of the ancients. He used to like to study this kind of mechanism box. Generally speaking, it can be opened in more than ten minutes.
Now the time has reached 21:30, all the customers who bought the bracelets have left, and Shen Yu still has no clues.
According to common sense, most of the mechanisms of the mechanism box are located on the carved patterns on the surface.
It may be a flower, a fruit, a fallen leaf, or a special accessory on a character's clothing, such as ancient jade, etc.
But Shen Yu pressed all the places where the trap might be located in this treasure box, but there was still no response.
Turning over the treasure box again, when Shen Yu saw the jade Ruyi, jade Ganoderma lucidum, and longevity peach in the immortal's hand, his eyes suddenly moved,,
Could it be that three mechanisms were opened at the same time?
Shen Yu did it as soon as he thought of it. Shen Yu measured it with his hands, and then pressed three fingers on Ruyi, Ganoderma lucidum, and Shoutao respectively.
With a click, the top of the wooden box automatically split into two halves, revealing a huge copper lock.
What is a bit unexpected is that there is a gold key under the copper lock.
Xu Duofu laughed when he saw this, "So it's locked here."
After Shen Yu observed it carefully, he shook his head expressionlessly, "This is not a lock. You will know if you take a closer look."
Xu Duofu stepped forward cheerfully, looked at the copper lock and key for a few times, and smiled with certainty: "Okay, brother, I saw it was locked, and you still don't admit it.
"Do you want to wait until I'm gone and then secretly get the treasure by yourself?"
Shen Yu was also amused by Xu Duofu, "Fat man, sometimes what you see is not necessarily true?"
Xu Duofu was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward to touch it, and couldn't help but be shocked.
It turns out that this is actually a pattern, and the correct expression should be the pattern of a copper lock and key.
"Oh my God, this painting looks too similar, right?"
"Since this is not a lock, how do you open it?"
"These are the dark spots." Shen Yu pointed to a few slightly protruding places on the pattern that were about the size of a fingernail.
"Then open it quickly?" Xu Duofu urged.
Shen Yu shook his head, "You don't understand, these are eight unlocking buttons, but seven of them are traps and only one is real.
"This treasure box can only be opened by pressing the real unlock button."

"That's it." Xu Duofu nodded thoughtfully.
"Is this box from the Qing Dynasty?" Xu Duofu, who had been stunned for a moment, suddenly asked.
Shen Yu glanced at him: "That's right."
"Never opened it?"
"Yes."
Xu Duofu clasped his fists, looked at the ceiling and said slowly: "The box is from the Qing Dynasty and has not been opened, so this button must not be pressed at will.
"If you could press it at will, then this box wouldn't be around at all.
"And if this box is pressed incorrectly, the contents inside may be destroyed, right?"
Shen Yu gave a thumbs up and looked like you are too powerful: "Actually, this kind of machine box cannot store any gold, silver and jewelry, but mostly paper.
"If we press it wrongly, there is a self-destruction device in this box, and it will all turn into a pile of scraps, and we will get nothing."
Xu Duofu suddenly slapped his thigh: "I'll go, Shen Yu, are you confused? You bought such a crappy thing for 200,000 yuan?
"There is only one in eight chances, that is, you have to jump off the building eight times to survive once. If you press the wrong button, isn't it just like spending money to hear the sound?"
Shen Yu didn't expect Xu Duofu to say these words, "Isn't that true? The box itself is also valuable. What if I press it correctly?"
Xu Duofu smacked his back teeth and said, "Shen Yu, although you usually have good luck, your chances are too small!
"I have an idea. Let's use a knife or electric drill to cut a small hole in the side, and then put a high-definition camera in it to see what objects are stored inside. Then we can make a decision based on the actual situation. Wouldn't that be great? ?"
"No, when this box was made, it was filled with tight copper wires, which can affect the whole body. Once one of them is broken, the copper wires in the box will bounce around, shattering the contents inside. "Shen Yu explained this way.
"One more thing, this mahogany is just a layer of skin.
"If I guessed correctly, there should be another box inside, a box within a box."
While speaking, Shen Yu suddenly clicked on the second button.
There was only a clicking sound of metal turning in the treasure box, and then the pattern of the copper lock and gold key began to change.
"Is this open?"
"Good luck, I seem to have clicked on the right button."
"Hey, why is there a piece missing here? Oops, is this pattern deformed?" Xu Duofu pointed at the treasure box and said loudly.
Shen Yu sighed when he saw this, "I didn't expect this treasure box to be a three-lock mechanism. The first step is just to open the lid.
"Although the second step of choosing one of the eight is correct, it only opens the third mechanism.
"Now it gets complicated. Now the mechanism inside rotates and pulls down a copper block, which gives us an unlocked space for movement. As long as we restore the pattern, the mechanism will be fully opened.
"But I can't open it now because I have long forgotten the specific location of the original pattern. If I had known this, I should have taken a picture of the pattern with my mobile phone."
